North Korea sharply criticised US President Donald Trump’s plan for a Golden Dome missile-defense system, a shield intended to counter threats from rivals including Pyongyang.

The programme “is an outer space nuclear war scenario supporting the US strategy for uni-polar domination,” the official Korean Central News Agency reported on Tuesday, citing a memo from an institute under the Foreign Ministry in Pyongyang.

The memorandum described the US programme as “the height of self-righteousness, arrogance, high-handed and arbitrary practice”, adding that Washington “has been hell-bent on the moves to militarise outer space, claiming that those who dominate outer space can win victory in the future war”.
